we'll hear what it means for broadcast t vcht and get reaction from fellow talk show host bonnie hunt. more cancer confusion. in the midst of the ma'am grap up roof, new guidelines are released for pap smears and now doctors say you don't need them every year. we'll bring you the latest. lawyerses for casey anthony accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, caylee, say police should look at someone else, the man who found her body. >> he probably was the one that murdered caylee anthony or had something to do with it. >> we'll speak with casey anthony's lead attorney. and this is mcdonald's in the golden arches goes with a new hook and hopes it will lead it a lot of happy meals. >> we end up talking a lot more, which is nice. >> we'll check out this mcmakeover early this friday >> we'll check out this mcmakeover early this friday morning, november 20th, 2009. captioning funded by cbs

good wet friday morning, at least here in new york city. i'm harry smith along with maggie rodriguez. >> there is an important vote happening tomorrow in washington. the senate is meeting on a saturday to vote for the first time on the democrat's health reform bill. coming up this morning, we have a piece that really outlines a comprehensive look at exactly who that bill is designed to help. and all week long, we've been talking with dave who has been out in california, beale air force base, getting ready for his big u2 flight. this is a plane that goes hig r than any other plane in the world. well, dave got to take off yesterday and, boy, do we have some pictures to show you. dave going up to 70,000 feet in the air where you can actually see the curvature of the earth. first here's maggie. we begin this morning with yet another significant change

in cancer screening guidelines affecting millions of women. as you know, there's been controversy all this week over when women should start having mammograms. well, now believe it or not there's a new recommendation about testing for cervical cancer, as well, that's cause something confusion. dr. jennifer ash top is here to fill us in. >> good morning. it's been an incredible week. and i going is releasing updated guidelines that recommend less frequent pap smears to detect cervical cancer. under the new guideline, women should begin getting tested at age 21 instead of three years after becoming sexually active as previously recommended. women in their 20s need a pap test every two years rather than annually. and women 30 and older should wait three years in between tests once they've had three consecutive clear results. >> prior to the 1980s, there wasn't good science to dictate how often, since then, we know

more about the disease. >> cervical cancer is generally slow growing and uncommon in younger women. doctors say fewer screenings could lead to fewer procedures that could cause future fertility problems, but the new guidelines may not deter women from their routine. >> i feel more comfortable just going back there every year. >> for years other doctors have been preaching get a pap smear every year. now we're going to tell women, well, you tonight need to do it every year and it's going to cause a lot of confusion. >> now, the new guide lines might actually be more of a surprise to patients than to some gynecologists since the changes have been evolving for over a decade. cervical cancer rates have fallen by 50% in the last 30 years due to extensive pap testing, but it is very important to remember that less frequent pap smears do not mean less frequent gynecologic exams. >> thank you, dr. ashton. now we turn to dr. bernadine

healy. good morning. i think it's important right off the bat to stress that the group making these new pap smear recommendations is not the federal task force that changed the mammography recommendations earlier this week. this is a group of objects trir shans and gynecology giss, right? >> absolutely. and these include cancer specialists and by the way, these are very prudent and sensible guidelines. and they are ones that have been long in coming and they are based on very good science when it comes to cervical cancer, we pretty much know when a woman is inspect and we know the time course of it and these are responsible and based on that. in the case of mammography, breast cancer is something that is much more complicated. we don't know its time course, and there is evidence that good lines save live miswomen in their 40s, so if you take them away, we will see more deaths from breast cancer.

there is no evidence whatsoever that these cervical cancer guidelines will lead it any increased deaths. >> so it's clear to me that you think these pap smear guidelines are a good idea, you're not in favor of the mammography guidelines. let's talk quickly about the pap smear guidelines which i think women will still be skeptical of the new recommendations because pap smears have been so greatly reduced since these regular screenings began. >> i think that one of the important things here is that this ultimately should be a doctor/patient choice. and what we saw with the mammogram guide hines this week was this assault on patient/doctor choice. with arrest to the cervical cancer guideline, it says that if a woman has a past history, for example, of hpv or of an abnormal pap smear, hen it doesn't apply to her. she may need to have annual pap smears. and that has to be a discussion between it that woman and her doctor. that should not come from the white house. >> but what if these two recommendations send the message to women that screening is not

as important as they were taught their whole lives? >> that will be terrible. and one of the goals ever heaof reform is to put emphasis on representing disease so that they don't present late when they destroy a woman's life. so i think that that would be an unfortunate thing and maybe this is a good opportunity to look at these two guidelines and see how one can be very sensible, it can make life easier for women and it doesn't cost a life. these other guidelines that they have revised will cost women's lives. and that's the bottom line. >> dr. bernadine healy, thank you so much. now over to harry. >> now the big news about oprah. the daytime tv titan's decision to step down in 2011 will prove to be a game change foreaudiences as well as the tv industry. cbs news koernts cynthia bowers is outside winfrey's studio in chicago with the details. >> reporter: good morning.

as you can imagine, local tv stations around the country who rely on oprah's appeal as a lead-into their nightly newscasts are likely screaming, oh, no, this morning. but all good things must come it an end. oprah broke the news to her employees here yesterday. she'll break the news to the rest of america today. her empire extends from magazines to books to movies. but what she's best known for -- >> please welcome my dear friend -- >> reporter: is the oprah winfrey show, one of the most successful daytime talk shows in television history. >> welcome to the very first national oprah winfrey show. >> reporter: its debut in 1986 marked the start of the transformation ever a little known local tv anchor into a media powerhouse. her net worth, an estimated $2.7 billion. the oprah winfrey show was watched in 145 countries worldwide and an estimated 42 million viewers tune in on a

weekly basis. oprah has the power to turn unknown writers in to best sellers about sxwlp she's defining, she's seminole, she's important. it's hard to imagine what a talk show world without oprah had look like. >> reporter: over the years, she's interviewed everybody from a hyped up tom cruise to world leaders and even recently scooped up sarah palin. >> one final question about levi. will he be invited to thanksgiving dinner? >> reporter: over the years she's lost weight and gained it back like the rest of us, but when she created her own cable channel, the oprah winfrey network, last year, rumors swirled her syndicated show would end. >> oprah cannot he said, she's oprah, she's like her own little earth. >> reporter: now, oprah had likely still be on the tube, just on her own cable channel. and fans don't have to moprah just yet because this is almost two years away.

we're talking september of 2011. harry? somebody's already upset it sounds like. >> there you go. cynthia bowerss in chicago with us this morning. thank you. now let's go to the west coast where bonnie hunt, chicagoan, joins us from the set of her own daytime talk show. good morning. >> good morning, harry, how are you? >> i'm well. this is stunning news, though, especially for those of us chicagoans who might remember the days when oprah started a show called am chicago. >> am chicago. right. i remember those days. and i remember my mom's response to oprah just because she was so accessible and it felt like there was one of us on television getting to experience everything and she took along for that ride. >> she went on against phil donahue, who was at the time literally the king of daytime television. and i think it took a week for her to beat him. >> it was fast. it was fast. i remember it just being am

chicago and all of a sudden it was oprah and we all knew who she was. and it just became a household name. but also not in the sense of celebrity, but in the sense of accessibility because we felt like she was one of us. >> and hen she becomes this bridge to sort of everything else because whatever she was interested in became the interestses of all of us. whether she's opening a school in south africa, or she's interviewing nelson mandela or sitting on a couch with tom cruise. >> i think it's interesting, harry, because in the beginning, oprah was not somebody who was telling us what to do, she wasn't really teaching us like so many people we see today, informed television where somebody like mar that that stewart is teaching to us do something or rachael ray is teaching us to cook. with oprah, she was learning and we were learning with her. and i think that's what really was the seed hawass planted for all of us us to just hang in there with her and then earn the credibility and all of a you had sudden it was -- we had an insider, notice, we had somebody

inside telling us what was going on. and then as she increased her credibility and fame, then all of a sudden she had access to everyone. and we felt like we were a part of that, as well. >> boy, that's a very good description. >> just hard to have that happen too many times, but it's nice to see that she is -- her intention always has been to do something positive and i think that's pretty powerful. >> are you maybe the one of a handful of five or six people in the entire cup who might be secretly a little bit gleeful that she's leaving network it tv? >> you know, i would always -- i think for my own tastes, the kind of television that i'm interested in had doing, i would hope to have some of the same audience that oprah has earned. and i would love to earn that, as well. and certainly, yeah, it would be mice to have a little elbow room for her to share. but i don't think this is the end of oprah.

evening it's only the beginning. i have a feeling that she's probably have her own station and continue to do what she does. >> there you go. bonnie hunt, thanks for getting up so early out there on the west coast. >> oh, harry, i'm just getting in. p you know me. >> that's right. just another long night for bonnie. great to see you. >> you better believe it. party animal. she's so fun. >> she is terrific. let's get to russ mitchell now who has moorehead lines this morning. good morning, sir. good morning. the senate is set to cast its first vote on health care tomorrow. it is a procedural vote to determine when on begin debate on the measure. cbs news congressional correspondent nancy cordes is in washington with more. good morning. >> reporter: the government-run public option that has been the focus of so much controversy would only end up covering about three to four million people under this senate bill. according to congressional estimates. but there are other policies in the bill that would affect tens of millions of americans.

kathy he will continues lost her job six months ago and now volunteers at this virginia food bank. with an income of $13,000 a year, she can't afford health insurance. >> anything could pop up at the present time and cout any time could ruin me. >> reporter: under the new bill, she'd qualify for free health insurance medicaid. the bill stemds medicaid benefits to americans making up to 133% of the poverty level. in kathy's state, virginia, that means individuals making less than $14,000 a year. or families making less than $29,000. americans making more than that, up to roughly $88,000 per family, would get tax credits to help them afford private insurance. the lower your in-come, the more you'd get. credits would be worth anywhere from a couple hundred dollars to thousands. but those who don't purchase insurance, everyone with those incentives, will face fines. $75 the first year, $350 the

second, and $750 after that. republicans are blasting the plan saying states are going to he said up footing the bill for the poor. of course to pay for all those tax credits, there will also be some new taxes. and one that has gotten a lot of attention is a 5% tax elect difference cosmetic surgery that's ben nicknamed the botax. >> cute. nancy cordes, thank you very much. 00 follow-up now on that air traffic system snarl up that stranded thousands of passengers yesterday. the faa blames one bad circuit board. hundreds of flights were affected in new york to atlanta and points west. turns out one failed circuit board at an faa center? utah caused the whole thing. two and three hour delays yesterday. cancelled a number of flights. >> luckily there were no dhas in getting dave price eye flight

off the gloupd. yesterday was the big day where he took that flight to the edge of the earth. and i e-mailed him last night and i said how was it and he replied i'm having a hard time putting it into words. so i can't wait to hear from him morning. good morning, dave. >> good morning, maggie, harry, russ. it is -- it is hard to put it in to words. yesterday was just an amazing experience. to be so close to heaven especially considering where i'm going when my time on earth is done is genuinely a remarkable experience.

and that's a quick look at your weather picture this morning. back to you guys in new york. >> we salute you, too. still to,a woman accused of killing her 2-year-old taught says what about the map who found the body. we'll ask casey anthony's lawyer about that. and later, the golden arches go european. we'll take you inside mcdonald's new look. on "the early show." depression is a serious medical condition

hello out there. those are our fans on the plaza.

we welcome you back to "the early show" on this friday. coming up, this is not your ordinary mcdonald's. this is a brand new mcdonald's here in the city that could be the mcdonald's of the future. it's absolutely beautiful inside. very inviting. there's nothing about it that says fast food. they have tvs, my furniture. we'll take you there coming up this morning. >> where are the toys? you can still get the toys? >> i hope so that. also ahead, an update on the h1n1 field and possible side effects. an a. 14-year-old had the shot and then came down with a rare illness which has been linked to the flu vaccine in the past. is it something you need to worry about? we'll get you the late pest. but first, a strange twist in the murder case against casey anthony, the mother accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter in orlando. kelly cobiella is at the courthouse in orlando with the details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, maggie.

casey anthony's attorneys are asking a judge in this trial to allow them to present evidence that would point to a whole knew theory in this crime. that the meter reader who helped police find little caylee anthony's body could be the killer. >> i know that i have haven't done anything wrong, so i don't have a rope to be fearful. >> reporter: roy kronk was hailed as a here refor helping police find 2-year-old caylee's remain, but casey anthony's attorneys say they've uncovered a dark side. april hensley was 11-year-old when kronk lived with her mother. she along with two of kronk's ex-wives were interviewed by anthony's defense team about even they say kronk has a history of being inappropriate with children and violent towards women. >> when you loi that had roy kronk had found the remains of caylee anthony, what went new your mind? >> that he had done it. >> done it meaning -- >> he probably was the one that

had murdered caylee an thon any or had something to do with it. >> reporter: caylee disappeared in june 2008. her body was found six months later less than a mile from her home. casey's attorneys admit they have no physical evidence, and kronk's lawyers say this is just a ploy to deflect bram from the real suspect. >> her mother is charged with the crime, so you can poent the finger all day long, it doesn't explain away the evidence against casey anthony. >> reporter: and so far no police reports, no arrest reports have surfaced to substantiate these claims. also, police cleared him as a possible suspect in the day lmu early on. >> that you think you, kelly. casey's attorney joins me this morning. do you believe there is just as

much evidence incripple naturing roy kronk as there is against casey? >> absolutely. you have seen the videotapes now, the interviews of the two ex-wives. these people have no motive or reason to lie. >> but it's an ex-wife who may have an ax to grind. >> one is dying of cancer. this is like a death bed statement. it's incredible. the point about this is that no one investigated any of this. we talked about casey. the cops are trying to make a theory fit to her. every piece of evidence that doesn't fit to her, they throw out. they never got there kronk's cell phone records, they didn't test his dna. we are four lawyers and two investigators and we've uncovered this. why couldn't they? >> because it really doesn't make sense that he would be the one because he repeatedly tried to alert authorities when he says he saw the body. he tried to call it in several times. why would dough that if he was the keller? >> you know, it's easy to snatch a kid away. i'm not just saying in this

case. in any case. we see it every day kids are snatched away. we see people that report crimes in many other cases that are actually the people that are guilty because they want to be the person who the media loves wlorks is the hero. i mean, there are all the sorts ever reasons. but the point is that we want to present in court evidence to show that it's not just our client who should have been a suspect. remember, we had that foreign dna on that duct tape which everyone talks about being important and here we have an ex-wife talking about how her ex-husband and not just one ex-wife, two ex-wives, use the to brag about hundred mile an hour duct tape. don't you think it's something that should be investigated at least in. >> do you think there's enough here to create enough doubt that casey is the killer? >> we know our client is not guilty of intentional first-degree murder. we know the evidence has been compromised. we know there's nothing that links her to the crime scene. and now we have evidence that somebody else could be equally responsible as much as our cleept. there needs to an proper and fair investigation.

>> you said that she is not guilty of intentional first-degree murder. >> that's what she's charged with. >> why did you word it that way? >> i'm just saying she's charged with that and she's not guilty of that, absolutely. >> linda, thank you. now let's go back to beale air force base where dave is standing by with another check of the weather. hello, dave. let's get a check of the weather. we'll begin in the midwest where it will be

young man. now he needs a walker to move from room to room. >> it's an and i can but it's also a pain that i can't describe. >> reporter: doctors told his parents he has guillain-barre syndrome. jordan's family believes the h1n1 vaccine is to blame. 24 hours after he received both the seasonal and swine flu vaccines, he was hospitalized. during the 1976 swine flu scare, officials vaccinated 45 million people, of those, almost 1100 developed gbs. >> if you really look at the scientific data, it is unclear why that happened. >> reporter: 30 years later, the cdc monitors the current h1n1 vaccine for guillain-barre and other side effects. nobody knows how many vaccines have been given, but the cdc says there have been 2563 reports offed a effect he effects. only 116 considered life threatening. there are six reported cases of gbs, but officials stress a link

between them and the vaccine are v. pot been confirmed. >> clearly the risk of the comply kafgs the disease is greater than the risk of the vaccine. >> now health officials caution that up to 9,000 people get gbs every year and the chance of getting sick from the flu is higher than the chances of getting gbs from the vaccine. >> you see a story like this and you become concerned. i don't know if there's a way to get that graphic back up or not. we know that millions and millions and millions of companieses of this vaccine have gone out. and if you were to go to the percentage poent points of how many have had adverse effects, it's in-if a natalie small. >> make those numbers in to a fraction, put the number of doses of the vaccine administered in the denom that tore and put the serious side effects in the top, divide that out, we're talking 116 life threatening adverse effects, over millions and millions of vaccines. chances are very small.

when you buy a new buick. if you don't absolutely love it, return it. simple as that. 3r0s cute tors in the murder trial of amanda knox have begun their closing argument in italy this morning. elizabeth palmer has the latest on the case. good morning, liz. >> reporter: good morning. well, this is really the beginning of the end for this case. all the evidence has been presented. for a crime that happened two years ago now, the trial's been running since january, and as you said, the prosecutor and the defense will now be summing up. amanda knox arrived in court this morning for what is certain to be a stressful session. she along with her former boyfriend will hear the final sum rift case against them. both are charged with murder and

if convicted could face life in jail. the prosecution argues that meredi meredith died from stab wounds. but when they realized what had happened, they staged a burglary to suggest an entruder had done it. one man has already been convicted of her murder. rudy was sentenced last fall. but this week at an appeal hearing, he said for the first time after the murder he saw amanda knox in silhouette upping away from the house. ultimately, though, the case against knox rests largely on circumstantial evidence with little solid proof to show what really happened that night. this summing up stage could go for ten days or two weeks yet and the actual verdict is expected sometime in december. maggie? >> elizabeth palmer, thank you. curt knox and edda mellas are amanda knox's parents and

they join us from seattle. good morning. >> good morning. >> as you well know, another man who has already been tried and convicted in this murder is now appealing his conviction saying that he saw amanda running from the crime scene. edda, are you suspicoious that t court is allowing this story to be heard publicly for the first time just as closing arguments are getting understa way? >> it's a concern because the jurors are not sequestered. however, what i've been told is that his story just wasn't credible. he says that amanda arrived at her own house and rang the door bell. that doesn't make any sense. so, you know, yes, it's disturbing, but we're not too worried. >> it has been two years since this ordeal began for you. amanda has spent two of her birthdays in an italian prison. as this finally starts to wind down, where is her head? >> well, i think she's apgs issues. from the aspect of she noose

control over the decision. her life is? n. somebody el is in somebody else's hands. but if the decision is made from the evidence in the court of law, she will be found innocent. >> wanted what is it does your tell you? >> all along we've been hopeful. even when the prosecution was presenting their case, it was a good day for us. so we're hopeful, but so far it hasn't gone the way it's supposed to, so we're also concerned. >> have you prepared yourselves about for the possibility that this will not go your way? >> i think to prepare yourself for all of the different aspects that could happen here, but it's very simple. it's a very simple case when you look at what's taken place inside the court. and hopefully we'll see the right outcome and we'll get to bring her home. >> by christmastime?

>> yes. >> that's what we hook like forward. >> kurt, edda, thank you very much. >> thank you. up next, the moment we've been waiting for. dave goes up in a u270,000 feet soaring to the edge of the earth. we'll be right back.

all this week dave price has been training to fly higher than most of us will ever get to go. this morning he is back on earth joining us again from beale air force base near sacramento, california to take us up on the ride. good morning again. >> good morning. i have been so privileged to have spent the week here at

beale air force base with the 3,000 men and women who make it run so efficiently. we're so proud of each and every one of them. but the highlight of this whole week was being able to fly up in a u2 as high as man can go. so close to the stars that you feel like you can touch them. >> skies should be clear, winds should be light and variable. >> a perfect day to fly. >> it was a great day to fly. but you don't just hop in a plane when you're going as high as man can go without heading in to space. it's a painstaking process. >> we're about to apply the oxygen. it will go up nice and slow for you. >> suited up and breathing oxygen, i was at the point of no return. i was on my way to the outskirts of earth's atmosphere. strapped down in that ejegting chair and crammed in that small

cockp cockpit, it was hard to relax but adrenalin pumped in as the throttle pushed forward. >> everything in the green. appears clear. let's go touch the sky, shall we? >> let's do it. >> three, two, one. >> you feel like you're going up in the shuttle. what a view. >> it's only just begun. >> 1:25 seconds to 10,000 feet. you take just a minute to look outside. >> look at that. >> and then you glance back at the altimeter and you've gone up another 10,000 feet. between the spacesuit and the altitude, doing anything in the u2 is more of a challenge.

>> try and whistle. >> i can't whistle. it is now minus 64 degrees celsius outside. less than an inch away. you get so wrapped up in the beauty and novelty of everything that it's easy to forget the danger. >> without the protection of our high altitude suit, our blood would boil instantly and we would cease to continue living up here. >>s and you approach 70,000 feet and you look outside, you can actually see the curvature of the earth on the horizon. >> isn't that a maze something. >> unbelievable. >> there's a peaceful beauty below you and bright sunshine on your face and a rich dark sky

above. >> there's so much quiet. so smooth. it's so peaceful and we're just looking down on this mother earth that just looks so beautiful and makes you want to fight to protect it every day. >> time stops at high altitude. your thoughts float between heaven and earth. just as you do. and just as you get teased with being the highest person in the world, higher than anyone else but the astronauts, gravity calls you home. >> welcome back to earth. >> awesome. this day was my day to be on top of the world. both in the heavens and back here on earth. w why? because i was. i can't thank you enough. so thank you each and every one

of you, not only for this experience, but what you do on behalf of me and my family and all of us every day. this is one of the hardest assignments i've had, not because it was so difficult to do, but because it was so difficult to put these experiences in to words. i just sat there for most of this trip in awe and in silence. and when we got back down here and started looking at the tape, i just didn't say much. and i want to thank major luke, my pilot, and the 869 men and women, such a small brotherhood and sister hood of pilots, who have flown this over the last 55 years.hood of pilots, who have flown this over the last 55 years. fewer people fly this plane than

have super bowl rings. and that gives you some idea of how exclusive this club is. >> those pictures, dave, with you all the way up there, the space is within reach. that that's the thing, that's the thing when you see those pictures. space is right there. >> you look up, yyou think of te astronauts at the space station, you think of your faith, you think of god, you think of what's happening on earth, how peaceful everything looks below versus the reality of what exists. and you're just dumb struck by the bougeauty of the planet we e on. it gives you a completely different perspective as you descend and land on earth. >> and i bet you feel microscopic up will. >> you do. you are above everything. you're above the planes that fly, you're above all that runs around and makes life chaotic. and you just -- you stand withe

and it puts thing misto for lack of a better term ultra perspective, how small we are, how tiny we rrk indeed how tiny this planet is when you compare it to everything above the canopy that you're in. >> dave, obviously an we could motion al experience for you, but i have to ask the same question maggie asked. any nerves at all when you were up there? >> not when i was up there, but i've got to tell you, when they strap you in and you're doing that walk to the u2 and you're thinking back to all the safety exercises you did and the edgr eche egress exercise, you have a genuine understanding of the danger and
